若者のゲームの嗜好性に関する考察 ̶ 性格の主要5因子との関連に着目して ̶.

We examined the relationship between game genres and the preferences of individuals, as well as the connection between genre preferences and personality traits. 73 young Japanese participants completed a self-report measure indicating their preference for different game genres and their Big Five personality traits. Through factor analysis, we categorized the genres into four factors, including FPS and multiplayer games. Additionally, cluster analysis identified four clusters, such as players who enjoy playing with others, and those who prefer games. By exploring the relationship between each factor (or cluster) and the personality traits, we discovered significant associations between certain factors (or clusters) and the Big Five personality traits. We anticipate that our findings can be utilized to recommend games to other players who share similar preferences, as well as to individuals who have no prior gaming experience, based on their personality traits.
